Hirai: We will be in leadership position at the end of cycle

Kaz Hirai's told the BBC that he's confident that PS3 will be the eventual winner of the current generation of hardware.

"I am very confident that after the 10-year lifecycle we will have the install base that we are looking for and that is obviously to be in the leadership position," he said.

The SCE president added: ""We've only really begun to scratch the surface with PlayStation 3 but I am confident that given the long life-cycle we have planned for the machine we are going to have a very good install base in all of the major territories."

There's a video of the man himself speaking through the link.
